Award-winning
concert pianist, conductor and vocal
coach Brian Stanborough is an expert in opera, operetta, music theatre
(including Gershwin, Cole Porter and Rodgers & Hammerstein), song
and Lieder. As well as English, he is fluent in German, French and
Italian, and experienced
in coaching opera singers in these languages.

highest rank of opera singers - names such as Luciano Pavarotti,
Placido Domingo, Joan Sutherland, Kiri Te Kanawa, Leontyne Price, Grace
Bumbry, Montserrat Caballe, Marilyn Horne and Martina Arroyo.

"With his flawless technique he he makes every note vibrate, revealing
a great poetic sensibility... His music-making has the violent
tenderness that attends every birth or re-birth. The imperious, velvety
chords that he draws from the piano transfigure the music like the sun
breaking through the clouds."Gramophone
